The big flowering ones are about 10', 14' & 20'. We have a number of smaller ones, some that are seedlings that grew, but I am pretty sure are too close to the mother plant & have root issues (they were here when we bought over 6yrs ago & are pretty much the same size)
As I posted in the bee thread, the seed clumps look to be coming in less than 1/2 full (it is still early to tell, the red ripe seeds are on a full clump, but the next 2 ripening seed clusters do not seem to be filling up... and there are no swarms of bees that are usually around the flowers... this is the 1st we have noticed a lack of bees, so I am hoping it is something more to do with us not noticing them, and less to do with they are gone, but I do fear the bees may not be here...
